How much does a yorCMO franchise make?

yorCMO is one of the franchisors that answers this on the record: its most recent FDD makes an Item 19 financial performance representation — actual unit earnings figures, disclosed by the franchisor itself. The headline figure is $154,280 in average unit revenue — read it alongside what Item 19 says about which units it covers (often only mature or top-performing locations). See every business services brand that discloses earnings in the Business services franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings ranking.

yorCMO franchise profit vs. revenue

Revenue is not profit. An Item 19 almost always reports sales — what a location takes in — not what an owner keeps. Out of that number come yorCMO's 7% royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a yorCMO franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "yorCMO franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure. On $154,280 of revenue, a 7% royalty alone is about $10,800 a year before any other cost.

yorCMO lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)

yorCMO's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026) does disclose legal proceedings in Item 3 . Item 3 is the item where a franchisor must put its material legal history on the record. Two things it is not: it covers the franchisor and its predecessors, parents and affiliates, so a disclosed case is not necessarily a suit against yorCMO itself; and a disclosure is a fact, not a finding of wrongdoing — most entries are contract disputes with former franchisees, which every large system accumulates. Item 3 of the source FDD describes each case.

yorCMO closures & failure rate

Before you sign, yorCMO will hand you a list of current owners to call as references — and they choose who's on that list. It won't include the owners who quit, got bought out, or were forced out last year. The FDD does report that number, even though the reference list leaves those people off. Below is what yorCMO's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a business services of this kind.

The closest thing an FDD has to a failure rate is Item 20 — outlet openings, closures, terminations and non-renewals, reported by the franchisor. yorCMO's latest tables show significant franchisee turnover. Its franchised-outlet closure rate — closures, terminations and non-renewals against outlets — is 20.7%, against a business services median of 3.3% — worse than the category. Net franchised outlets moved -4 to 25 in the latest reported year.

Who owns yorCMO?

yorCMO's franchise is offered by yorCMO Franchising, LLC — the franchisor named on the cover of its most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026), and the entity a franchisee actually signs with. That name comes straight off the filing at WI DFI; it identifies the franchisor, not necessarily the ultimate parent company behind it.
